Silicone tongs Hendi 171301

These Hendi silicone tongs combine stainless steel and silicone for serving work. The mixed-material construction distinguishes them from all-metal utensils, making them easy to identify when selecting tools at a busy pass or buffet station.

Where it is used

Use the tongs to pick up and arrange food during plating or buffet service. Their silicone component gives the working ends a non-metal contact surface, useful when handling food on serving plates alongside other stainless-steel utensils. Keeping them at the service point gives staff a dedicated tool for arranging portions without reaching for a different utensil.

At a café counter or hotel buffet, the tongs can be kept with the serving equipment for repeated plating tasks. Their overall length helps you assess where they can be handled and stored on the station, so the tool has a consistent place between service periods.

Care

The tongs can be cleaned in a dishwasher, allowing them to go through a machine-washing cycle between service tasks. This simplifies routine cleaning and helps return the utensil to the serving area ready for further use.

Stainless steel resists corrosion in damp kitchen conditions, a useful property for serving equipment that passes through washing and returns to a working station. The silicone and steel construction also makes the tongs readily distinguishable from utensils made entirely from metal when sorting clean equipment.

How to choose

Use the overall length to compare the tongs with available drawer or utensil-storage space before assigning a place on the station. This helps keep serving tools organised and accessible without taking a utensil out of circulation to find a suitable storage position.

The silicone-and-stainless-steel construction is a practical choice where staff need to distinguish these tongs from all-metal serving tools. Their dishwasher-cleaning suitability also supports a workflow in which serving utensils are routinely machine-washed between tasks.
